On Tuesday 1 August 2023, the School of Management and the School of Economics and Finance merged to create the Departments of Management, Economics, and Finance.

These three new departments lay the foundation of a business school at the University of St Andrews, officially launching in August 2024. During this transition year, education delivery and research will not change.

Our business school will be uniquely St Andrews – world-leading, diverse, digital, sustainable, and entrepreneurial. Its future is for the University of St Andrews community, our students and staff, to shape.

Learn more and find out how to contribute on the business school website.

The departments’ former school names may still appear in logos, branding, documentation, online and on campus during the academic year 2023-2024. These will be phased out and replaced with the new department names between August 2023 and August 2024.
